These tombs were badly damaged, unfortunately, during the latter part of the 19th century, when the area was overflowed with tomb robbers. Much valuables, especially clothings, were stolen, and the remains of the corspes were left laying on the surface.
Until 1997, skulls and bones were abound on the sand, and no regulations were imposed to stop the visitors from touching or holding the remains. This thoughtless practice further tarnish what was once a pious site.
After 1997, twelve tombs were created by matching recognizable pieces of bones into identifiable sets of skeletons, along with some ceramics and other artifacts. However, fragments of bones were still across the site.
The Cemetery of Chauchilla, because of its calamitous past, along with a long period of mismanagement, had been reduced to a mere display of an artificial amassment of bones. Leave a Comment Directions: Cemetery of Chauchilla is about 30 km from Nazca. A tour of the cemetery is usually included in the Nazca Lines flight touring package.

I am sure most people have heard of the Nazca Lines, along with the numerous questions that are for sure to follow.
Seeing the Lines first-handed didn't give me any new insight to the above questions, but the huge drawings of spider and bird and dog were interesting, like some strange classroom art class products, only each line was kilometres long,
I wish the mystery will remain unsolve, so the dog will remain a dog, instead of some stupid irrigation route. Leave a Comment

 my jewel... by schlumpf
During the flight the pilot showes you the whole 12 Nazca lines complex, giving you also some explainations, and ...of course...he/she's expecting a tip at the end!
This is something you have not to miss!
It is better to book this excursion by your own directly with areocondor, which would costs you somehting around 70/80USD (an agency often ask you 100 box!) Leave a Comment

 The Monkey at Nazca by TimMiles
The planes fly when they have six tourists to fill them, and there is a constant turnover of tourists at the airport, so don't believe any hotel or agent who pressures you into booking a flight right this second "because they only have one space left".
Also all the flights are identical, and some agents will try and sell you a superior service for more money, but there is nothing in it.
The best thing to do is ignore all the touts and offers and go to the airport fiirst thing in the morning - you can get a flight for about $36 this way of you bargain. First thing in the morning is best time to fly.
Also, many agents and touts will Try to tag on a tour to the cemeteries for an extra amount of $, but I didn't really enjoy them - they were plundered long ago and they have been put back together in a really amateurish way and it is really a cheap tourist trap after the lines. Leave a Comment

It is another must see acitivity...Every travel agent or indipendent agent is able to organize for you a visit to CHauchilla, altought it is very raccomanded to go there with an archeologhical guide. the site is an open sky cimitery with a beautifull landscape but you should take care cuz the evcerage temp is about 35/40C!
An archeol. guide will cost you something like 6/8USD for two people. Leave a Comment Address: Nazca area

You can go on to Nasca and stay there (e.g. Hotel Maison Suisse, just in front of the Nasca airport) in order to overfly the lines the next morning (with AeroIca) and then return to Lima in the afternoon.
Have a look at:
http://www.aeroica.net/home.html (also info about the hotel, they work together closely).
Another option is to stay in Ica: Hotel Las Dunas.
They organise trips from their hotel to the Nasca lines.

 Spacious three room grave
signifies importance by Zirpsis,
1 more photos
They are in their two or three room graves together with their servants (who obviously have been murdered since their skulls are broken). Also food and valuables were buried with them to help them in the afterlife, but everything has been robbed ages ago.
Patches of clay were put on the eyes, ears and mouths of the skulls so that they could not identify or tell in the afterworld who did them wrong. Leave a Comment
